"Trust"

self-released

Artists:

The Tumblr page for Gambles is nearly indecipherable, a mess of zoomed-in text files, cryptic statements, and a poorly digitized image of Barack Obama. It doesn't tell you much about the project, which is spearheaded by NYC-based singer/songwriter Matthew Daniel Siskin (an "About" page simply states that "There is no pattern to any of this", which is evident). Siskin's only song to date under the Gambles guise thus far is "Trust", a track that was recorded in Nicolas Vernhes' Rare Book Room studio earlier this year; it's a burned-out slice of doomy folk music featuring Siskin's cracked vocals and vague, ominous lyricism. According to that previously referenced "About" page, Siskin "will be releasing things soon" as Gambles, so hold tight.
